Duration: 12 Months

Job Description

We are seeking a Software Developer with Lean Software Development (LSD) discipline and Legal Technology expertise to support internal Legal and Compliance engineering initiatives. Applying Lean principles—eliminating waste, rapid iteration, continuous delivery, and value-stream optimization—you will design and build high-impact software solutions for contract lifecycle management (CLM), legal workflows, and regulatory compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Apply Lean Software Development principles (MVP delivery, short feedback loops, continuous integration/deployment, and eliminating process bottlenecks) to rapidly build and iterate on internal legal applications.

• Develop, customize, and maintain legal technology systems—including Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), matter management, and compliance tracking tools—tailored to corporate counsel and legal operations.

• Build clean, scalable REST APIs and automated workflows connecting legal platforms with enterprise ecosystems (Salesforce, NetSuite, Coupa, Workday/Okta) to eliminate manual data entry and handoff delays.

• Partner directly with legal stakeholders to map existing legal workflows, identify friction points, and engineer automated solutions that reduce contract turnaround times.

• Implement automated legal holds, data retention policies, and role-based access controls aligned with enterprise security and global privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA).

• Maintain high engineering standards through automated testing, clean architecture, peer code reviews, and metrics-driven performance tuning.

Key Qualifications

• Strong background practicing Lean Software Development and Agile methodologies, with a focus on rapid prototyping, iterative value delivery, and minimizing technical debt.

• Proven hands-on experience developing or customizing enterprise legal systems (such as Ironclad, DocuSign CLM, Conga, Icertis, or custom legal intake/eDiscovery tools).

• Proficiency in modern languages and frameworks (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, Java, or SQL), RESTful APIs, and workflow automation/iPaaS platforms (Workato, MuleSoft, Power Automate, or Salesforce Flow).

• Legal Domain Familiarity: Practical understanding of corporate legal processes, contract lifecycles (NDAs, MSAs, SaaS agreements), and legal hold/compliance operations.

• Ability to work closely with non-technical legal stakeholders to quickly validate requirements and ship practical software increments.
